An Herbe à l'ail by any other name, still stinks

There is an interesting piece by Paul Wiegman in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, about his trip to Europe and subsequent discovery of garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) in its native habitat. He goes on to wax poetic about the invasive herb's history in North America, and invasives in general. A good read.

Thanks to a member of the Yahoo! group ma-eppc for posting a link to the story.
